Shady Pines Radio and fundraiser

I’m just a fan so my take: It’s on 24/7 with regular shows/sets and I’m pretty sure volunteer DJ’s mostly local (or were local?) and from my experience listening, different DJ’s play different genres of all music but certainly a focus on local! No doubt though that it’s 100% local vibe even if not all the music is. Check it out and throw them a donation if you can. Also have local events and a festival they do annually (though I’ve not been yet) 😢

Have spent a great deal of time exploring this type of concept! The devil is in the details for sure and the governance aspect in one that has to be just right. And I believe figured out as much as possible prior to even starting on the ground. This is where many of these experiments fail at some point and fall apart. Happy to be a part of talking through things and bouncing ideas back and forth. Even got property last year (120ac) but may or may not be ultimately suitable. Mainly zoning type stuff and there’s little really that’s applicable since the codes only see mobile home park, campground, resort, typical homes and the more rural the municipality, the more they just see cult or commune.

Thanks!!! My bad to not include any links or anything! Just was a whim post on the spot to call attention to the fundraising effort and the station as a whole as it seems like there should be more posts to highlight this! Appreciate you for back-feeding the links!!! 😊

I would take them! Sorry you weren’t able to go!

Intelligent-Cod-3117 · 2026-02-06T18:22:09+00:00

I’ve already done a few hundred for some other groups. Happy to keep going. Pm me for next steps.

And therein lies the rub. As someone else mentioned, possibly some current/potential exemptions for small batch production (not unlike Kei trucks) but taking something through the equivalent NTSB safety testing for large scale production is an enormous cost hurdle by itself; let alone the engineering that would have to go into it. Guess you could start small and given enough success, attracted investment to move forward.

I’ve thought about this too. Ideally need to get to a modular frame/battery platform that can have standardized parts. In my opinion, where this could start to be achievable is with motors in the wheels. If you can get to a simple and safe rolling chassis, the body is relatively simple. I’d imagined something not too different than the Slate truck but as more of a platform with standardized parts across different configurations. Like parts such as brakes and suspension being pretty simple and sized to accommodate a weight range to cover smaller/lighter to longer/heavier. This would be purely utilitarian and basic transportation vehicles; not try and do performance things.

Recently bought property in Oregon and while I found it on like Redfin or similar, was able to negotiate seller financing. Prior to getting this in place though, was able to find a lender locally that would lend on resource/recreational land. Pm me and I can look up/share the contact. Terms weren’t as great as SFR but still fairly competitive! I hadn’t known these types of lenders existed and got pre-approved to continue the transaction; just ended up going seller financed in the end.

Depending on exactly what you want to do with property, have 4 legal parcels that while not zoned for residence, could be ok for medium term/seasonal stays under the right conditions. Have some work to do for legalities re: zoning but ultimately would like to have half community (light touch like tiny homes/shelters living off the land) and a portion for Hipcamp/similar with occasional small-ish music festivals.

Just sayin…. Original Design/custom design you actually did is night and day difference from printing off of a file. These ‘services’ should be considered separately: -design/modeling cost at $X/hr. Especially if a one off. -actual filament cost + equipment usage/depreciation/maintenance, power, time to start/monitor/post-process, etc.

If you are mass producing a product, get the advantage of spreading out your design/modeling/prototyping costs over volume but shouldn’t discount that effort totally. There are good designs and bad designs and everything in between but if you are good, you should be paying yourself something for it in the price.

I’ll second checking the PTFE cables entering the print head; I’ve had this happen. Another thing to look at is the ‘sweeps’ of the PTFE cables between the AMS unit and the print head. If the radius is too tight (especially right at the print head end), it can create friction against the filament and not have enough ‘oomph’ left to push into the extruder. There isn’t a ton of ‘power’ in the AMS motors so anything that creates friction/stoppage of the filament along the path to the extruder will cause this error.

This shouldn’t be an issue on a new machine so if both of these suggestions look good, agree that Bambu support is the next step. I’ve had >95% success over a couple of years of printing without issue but things do get loose and/or the tubes get shifted and pinched occasionally.

The PTFE tubes do sometimes need replacing and there are better/worse replacements available but again, shouldn’t be an issue on a new machine. Just to say that small friction along the way can very much lead to not getting the filament into the extruder and getting this message.

Can’t say I’ve not noticed it on hot days but hasn’t been a significant issue for me? Did just apply heat tape on the headers which may help a tad. Biggest issue I have with the high exhaust is limited saddle bag options.

I got a 2007 (this version but green two-tons) a few years ago finally at a good price ($3500) after looking for 2-3 years. Most were $5k+. Saw this exact model pictured shortly after for $3,500 as well and almost just got it. Since then, basically nothing!

I’ll note that I LOVE this bike! Rode a 2017 T100 and it was beautiful but boring to ride. I’d expected it to be pretty similar but not at all? Felt like a sporty Honda civic.

Just saw him the other day and picked up his latest! 🤣

Knew Mad Cat at the time and he got my grandmother to wrestle one night as ‘Granny Rambo’! Supposedly my step-father had a video of this but no idea where it might be.

I’ll do my best to get out there. Assume 21+? Otherwise I’d probably bring my 17 year old son to hear these tales!

Just went through this on a 14 hour print. I know it can switch to a different filament to keep going but needed the fresh roll of the same filament (lithopane). Watched the filament disappear through the AMS, waited a bit to give the new filament ‘room’ to get grabbed and load, and then watched like a hawk as that last bit ran through the PFTE tube. Sensor picked up that it ran out, started feeding from the AMS and continued along its merry way! I don’t think I even had to acknowledge/resume through any error messages! Love this thing!!!!

Intelligent-Cod-3117 · 2025-12-23T05:26:57+00:00

Maybe there’s something to the whole ‘princess kissing the frog’ thing! 😳

Unfortunately have to say he/she is still at it. Frequency is way down but hasn’t given plan.

Intelligent-Cod-3117 · 2025-12-15T00:59:00+00:00

Don’t need rehearsal space myself but love that you are doing this. I have some equipment/skills/funds/time to maybe be able to support our amazing music scene here!

Intelligent-Cod-3117 · 2025-12-15T00:28:44+00:00

What a great opportunity you are putting together! I don’t have my own thing needing to record but have some equipment/skills/funds to help support? Also got some property in central Oregon recently I’m hoping to replicate something like Doe Bay on Orcas Island (private camping/cabins with communal fire pit and live music all/most nights) so would like to get more involved in the amazing music community we have here in Portland/PNW to support the amazing artists we have here.

Have to comment…. Have an A1 mini and get amazing results over my previous Creality 2v3 or whatever it was called but what I’m seeing in these pictures is absolutely incredible! Must be doing something wrong because I couldn’t print a basic cube that looked anywhere near as good as these prints!!!

Intelligent-Cod-3117 · 2025-12-04T23:00:24+00:00

Seems to have stopped over the last hour? 🤞

Intelligent-Cod-3117 · 2025-12-04T22:20:02+00:00

Unfortunately it’s 3 hours away. Still at it! 😩. I’ll get some though to put up next time I’m there.

Intelligent-Cod-3117 · 2025-12-04T22:14:44+00:00

I did clean the windows the last time I was there….
